So the front end of my gt 2 and I noticed that mine doesn't have fins on the hood unlike what seems to be every other gt 2 on all the moves is the cover of the bar that moves the headlights up and down. Can anyone tell me why mine is different?

I think what you are talking about is the simulated high speed louvers, those are normal for the GT2.  On the GT2 they do nothing other than aesthetics looks. Apparently someone has removed the louvers from your car when it was built. On the race cars they are ducted to create a vacuum under the car to keep it on the road. It is actually the outlet of a Fluidic Amplifier.  Wyn |

Why not post a photo of yours? Someone elses car does not help us determine the answer to your question. We all know how a GT2 should look. |

What does the cover look like. Seems someone may have started to cut for the electric model then realized they messed up.

Yeah it's a twoie....get a mirror and look up under the open area and you will probably find that someone has glassed in the louvers..All my twoies had problems with water stains in the bottoms of the louvers, as there was no drainage holes for when it rains..I had a couple of mine glassed in...However, I don't think that yours is one that I had done, as it has too large an opening...

If memory serves me when installing AC the rear most 3 louvers get opened for air inlet into the evaporator. Dan, the open Louvers is for the fresh air system not the AC system. I found the instructions in an early set of GT2 plans. Can't find it in Jeff's CD, as the pages are arranged differently. In Jeff's CD it shows a tube going out the bottom of the AC box and mounted in the Chassis head for fresh air in let. In the GT2 Body I have there is a 3/4" by about 24" opening over the AC cover. So mine will draw return air from the passenger compartment.  Wyn |

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew that some were opened for a reason.
